brad! Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Hi there, can anyone tell me who makes or sells load arresters (One ton). Theyre for a permanent install rig held up by load stars and need to be included as a safety feature. Any advice? Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tivoliproduction Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 my personal recommendation would be "lift turn move" up north, they supplied me with a pair of lodestars earlier this year and have been excellent, speak to dave king, tel: 01516490467 excellent company.

Chris Higgs Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 In the interests of fairness and non commercialism (chaps, we can all buy and sell them) they often originate at Globestock in Telford or Sala in Runcorn as well as the usual lifting gear suppliers. Many were developed for things like hangar doors and other situations very like what we do with them - small number of lifting machines, need for redundant or secondary suspension that looks after itself. The traditional problems are 'nuisance' arresting on moving pieces, lack of drift and load capacity. You often have to use them two fall to get the capacity at the expense of travel.I did some work with a company years ago to try developing them to be used inverted - don't unless expressly authorised by the manufacturer, and secondly, ensure they are always above the load and as close to vertical as possible. As is being highlighted currently with fall arrest blocks, a swinging fall on an 'inertia' device doesn't necessarily load the device such that it locks; result - load not arrested.
